PREPARE THE CARROTSCAKE BATTER
- Place the grated carrot in the center of a clean towel, wrap and squeeze hard to extract all the carrot water. This is important to remove all the carrot moisture to avoid a too moist cake. Set aside on a bowl.
- Trim carrot ends, keep skin on and grated finely with a food processor or hand grater.
FROSTING
- In mixing bowl, beat eggs, heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla. Stop when light, fluffy and whiter in color, about 30-45 seconds beating.
- Add in coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg and lemon zest.
- Using a spatula, stir in grated carrot and chopped pecan.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the top of the cake is golden.
- Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack for 2 hours until it reaches room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat coconut cream with butter and powdered erythritol until creamy.
- Spread the frosting all over the top of the cooled cake and decorate, if desired.
